under it and this attracted the
0:12
attention of researchers historians and
0:15
various treasure Hunters throughout the
0:16
years most of them tried unsuccessfully
0:19
to learn the Island's Secrets but some

0:45
two brothers worked hard and spent much
0:47
of their lives trying to learn of the
0:49
mysteries of Oak Island but it was to no
0:52
avail then their last attempt for fruit
0:55
overall A and E a television network
0:58
chose to chronically the efforts in a
1:01
documentary called The Curse of Oak
1:03
Island
1:04
these brothers were obsessed with the
1:06
island causing them to spend a lot of
1:08
money to fund their excavations and
1:10
locate the treasure
1:11
fortunately the television show helped
1:14
to bring in more investors so they had
1:16
the funding needed for their treasure
1:18
hunt the show ended up moving through
1:20
two seasons without a discovery from The
1:22
Legend of Brothers during the third
1:24
season that all changed while they
1:27
drained a hole they found artifacts like
1:29
a ceremonial Roman sword this suggested
1:33
that the Romans were in North America
1:34
before Christopher Columbus at the end
1:37
of season three they had Unearthed many
1:39
artifacts leading them to feel that they
1:42
were on the best track as season four
1:44
started they wanted to identify one of
1:47
the interesting items they found a
1:49
handmade copy of a French map
1:51
Xena Halperin is an expert in ancient
1:54
seafaring and a historian who helped
1:56
them
1:56
they ended up dating the map at about 1
1:59
647.
2:01
it had the words valve anchor and hatch
2:04
on it suggesting that the hidden
2:06
treasure might be from Africa the
2:09
treasure Hunters also found what
2:11
appeared to be one section of a book it
2:13
seemed like a book binder something that
2:15
held paper together therefore the
2:17
brothers thought there could be
2:18
manuscripts that were waiting to show
2:20
their secrets to the bigger picture
2:22
along with the book binding they found a
2:25
piece of parchment made of animal skin
2:26
some speculated that it was linked to
2:29
William Chapo and Frederick Blair who
2:31
had been involved in an Island
2:33
investigation it was date at about the
2:35
15th century when only the wealthy could
2:38
receive or send letters a few gold
2:40
pieces were found on Oak Island in the
2:43
21st century while the churro company
2:45
excavated they ran into trouble when the
2:48
sea filled the hole eventually they had
2:51
to stop because they ran out of money
2:52
that area was dubbed The Money Pit which
2:55
claimed a life while trying to drain it
2:58
many people explored the island in the
3:00
20th century and each company hoped to
3:02
be successful and wasn't
3:04
President Roosevelt was obsessed with
3:06
the island and was part of the
3:08
exploration group it's said that his
3:10
teen wasn't successful and couldn't fund
3:13
more excavations interest in the pit
3:15
never stopped even with all the failures
3:18
the mystery was kept a lot by people
3:20
like Irwin Hamilton who cleared a shaft
3:22
and found wooden rocks that were alien
3:25
to the area
3:26
this confirmed that something was
3:27
underneath Rick and Marty were in good
3:30
company
3:31
the team had skills experience and
3:33
knowledge and were sure that the island
3:35
might give up the mystery Craig tester
3:38
Marty's roommate in college Dan
3:40
Blankenship and his son David formed
3:42
part of the team
3:43
Dan Blankenship was the famous Nova
3:46
Scotia Hunter and was often called a
3:48
living legend he left his contracting
3:51
business for Oak Island
3:53
overall he's been pouring his life into
3:55
unraveling the mystery his son followed
3:58
in his footsteps and now they both
4:00
helped their dream move along it had
4:02
been hard to get water out of The Money
4:04
Pit in the past therefore Craig thought
4:07
about freezing it and the legend and a
4:09
team liked it that way it was easier to
4:12
excavate since childhood the brothers
4:14
had been budding treasure Hunters
4:16
therefore it was a matter of time until
4:19
a treasure hunting mystery back into
4:21
them and had them pursue it as hard as
4:23
they could at just 10 years old Ricky
4:26
lagina was living in Kingsford
4:29
he ended up finding a granite Boulder
4:31
and tried to find out if treasure lay
4:33
beneath it was a momentous occasion even
4:36
though he found nothing
4:37
these brothers wanted to buy a steak in
4:39
the island to pursue their dream
4:41
they did so in 2006 buying about half of
4:44
the Oak Island tours
4:46
Dan Blankenship owned the other half and
4:49
was part of the team both knew that they
4:51
had to collaborate with everyone
4:53
Marty was cautious and didn't want to
4:56
jump to conclusions when they made the
4:58
initial discoveries however evidence
5:01
suggests that some significant events
5:03
happened further in the past than they
5:04
imagined however he couldn't help but be
5:07
optimistic the first indication of
5:09
treasure on Oak Island happened in the
5:12
18th century Daniela Jennings was a
5:14
young boy and found unnatural scarring
5:16
on one of the oak trees he thought it
5:19
was from a rope and pulley system
5:22
then he saw a five meter depression and
5:25
thought something was buried there he
5:27
told his friends and they started a
5:28
decades-long excavation a few years
5:31
later the Onslow company attempted to
5:33
finish what those three friends started
5:36
while their efforts weren't successful
5:38
they defined a table with writing on it
5:40
finally after a century it was
5:43
translated
5:44
one self-claimed expert believed that
5:46
parts of what was written said 40 feet
5:49
below 2 million pounds lie buried some
5:53
have actually taken that to confirm that
5:54
there was a treasure buried on the
5:56
island was it true though Oak Island was
5:59
also the staging ground for wild
6:00
theories some theorized that the
6:03
treasure was Marie Antoinette's others
6:05
felt that Francis Bacon and Shakespeare
6:07
left manuscripts regardless most
6:09
theories captured the imaginations of
6:11
people though none were confirmed the
6:14
legend of Brothers found the Woodline
6:16
shaft and they think it was built in
6:19
1805 by the ones who first located The
6:22
Money Pit in fact they have discovered
6:25
about 600 historical artifacts since
6:28
they began their Adventure on Oak Island
6:30
a significant find inside the pit was a
6:33
human bone they speculated that it was
6:36
from someone with Middle Eastern
6:37
ancestry another bone was found to be of
6:40
European ancestry through his research
6:43
Marty hypothesized that they were from
6:46
the knights template
6:47
Gary Drayton was a fun addition to the
6:49
lagina team he has been dubbed the metal
6:52
detecting ninja from those who are
6:54
familiar with the work he does he's
6:56
often regarded as someone who can find
6:58
things others can't on the show
7:00
he's definitely had to put his skills to
7:03
the test and use them for the team
7:05
before The Curse of Oak Island ended its
7:07
season 5 series Gary and the legend has
7:10
ended up finding something quite
7:12
remarkable Gary and the brothers found
7:14
something significant enough to rewrite
7:16
history
7:17
the small cross had a hole at the top
7:20
and was dated to be between 1 200 and 1
7:24
600. there was also a stone with Greek
7:27
letters reminding Rick of a Templar
7:29
prison the artifacts seemed to fit the
7:32
context of theories connecting Oak
7:34
Island to the Knights Templar the show
7:36
claimed that if proof was established
7:38
that the members were in North America
7:40
seven centuries ago it could change the
7:42
world's history Xena Halpern the
7:45
historian proposed another option for
7:47
the cross's origins she said it could
7:49
depict The Phoenician goddess named
7:51
Tannen that may mean the Templars
7:53
revered the goddess of health and
7:54
fertility which might turn history on
7:57
its head from there more theories
7:59
cropped up and they seemed Preposterous
8:02
one explanation of the origin of the
8:04
Cross was proposed to it could have been
8:07
used as a way to smuggle gold
8:09
how is that possible though Jack Begley
8:12
claimed that the cross was covered in
8:14
lead
8:15
however when it was scraped away gold
8:17
was underneath it he says that the group
8:20
might be still in Smith's Cove or it
8:22
might have been transferred there in the
8:24
past one Discovery the brothers made is
8:26
a stone about 400 to 500 years old
8:29
the rhodolite garnet features a
8:31
raspberry color and some say it confirms
8:33
the connection to Marie Antoinette Rick
8:36
lagina claimed that they deserved a pat
8:38
on the back because they found treasure
8:41
however the rhodolite garnet could have
8:44
come from various places the Marie
8:46
Antoinette connection is just one of the
8:48
theories surrounding the origin of a
8:50
stone
8:51
from the design some feel it's linked to
8:53
the Masonic wear large and high priest
8:55
the legendist don't care if the show is
8:58
renewed for a sick season they are more
9:00
focused on untangling the mysteries of
9:02
the island and finding hidden treasure
9:04
Maddie Blake hosts an after a show about
9:07
their team and claims that they are sure
9:09
to keep making tons of discoveries the
9:12
legend is chillout discoveries the raka
9:14
they found another strange stone with
9:16
interesting carvings on it this
9:19
indicated that it was an average Stone
9:21
crate the team's drilling expert thought
9:24
they looked like Roman numerals at this
9:26
point the entire team agrees that
9:29
whatever is found around the money pit
9:30
should be investigated thoroughly that
9:33
was a sound decision because later they
9:35
learned something startling about this
9:37
Stone
9:38
they brought the stone to their lab and
9:40
ran relevant tests on it overall they
9:42
subjected the item to scrutiny and
9:44
hypothesize that the evidence suggests
9:47
that there was a viking presence on the
9:48
island at one time
9:50
then another piece of evidence popped up
9:52
the team's discoveries weren't limited
9:54
to parchment and Stones during their
9:57
work they found tubular objects that
9:59
appeared unnatural for the environment
10:02
they confirmed that they were man-made
10:03
when they talked to Laird Niven an
10:05
archaeologist
10:07
he said they were two plates the team
10:09
also Unearthed the structure underneath
10:11
which was angled to suggest that it was
10:14
man-made they were perplexed and
10:16
wondered if it could be the chapel vault
10:18
which they believe contains Treasures
10:21
however nothing is known about it yet
10:24
exploring the island has been great for
10:26
the brothers but they've also made a lot
10:28
of money from the TVs showed documenting
10:31
the treasure hunt in fact the lag in his
10:33
own part of the island and the public is
10:35
interested to find out what they
10:37
Unearthed to it's no surprise to anyone
10:40
that the legend of brothers are worth
10:42
millions of dollars in fact rake has
10:45
about dollar two million to his name and
10:47
Marty has about dollar fifty million so
10:50
they're both well to do
